IBM DB2 Intelligent Miner for Data for AS/400 enables knowledge workers to identify and
extract high-value business intelligence from large amounts of enterprise data. Version 6
Release 1 (V6R1) offers new analysis and data exploration options to enhance core data
mining capability, while making critical data more accessible to those who need it most.
Business analysts and managers are empowered to make better informed decisions to
improve customer relations, maximize profits, and reduce the risk of fraud and abuse.
DB2 Intelligent Miner for Data for AS/400 V6R1 places increased focus on bringing the value
of data mining to more business intelligence users. Enhancements include integration with
warehouse and business intelligence tools. Integrated business intelligence offerings
leverage product enhancements to deliver end-to-end mining solutions to the business
analyst:
• SAP Business Warehouse: Joint SAP and IBM technology pilots are underway to
enable SAP users to use Intelligent Miner to mine data sourced from their SAP
Business Warehouse. Generated models are applied and ported back to the
warehouse. As both data and metadata are imported and exported, users define data
once.
• SPSS: SPSS integration can provide Intelligent Miner for Data users with additional
statistical analysis and data exploration capabilities.
• IBM GBIS: Global Business Intelligence Solutions continues to offer data mining
consulting that is recognized as the best in the industry
• Enhancements targeted to the data mining analyst: DB2 extended column names
are used by the Intelligent Miner. DB2 DataJoiner can be used by the Intelligent Miner
to mine non-DB2 databases, including both read and write operations.
• Enhancements targeted to the business analyst: A powerful new visualizer is
provided for interpreting the mining results created by the Associations Discovery
algorithm.
Enablement features of the DB2 Intelligent Miner for Data provide the mechanisms for the
integration of business intelligence tools. Applying model results to the database enriches the
information available to business analysts through familiar business intelligence tools they
use every day. Seamless tool integration at the glass facilitates the iterative analysis process.
The first tools targeted for integration will offer additional statistical analysis and data
exploration options to analysts.
DB2 Intelligent Miner for Data for AS/400 is based on a client/server architecture and mines
data directly from DB2 as well as from other data sources using DB2 DataJoiner (see
page 529).
